This you see as the north pole forming near the north pole of the solenoid. Like poles repel, unlike poles attract is kind of a misleading analogy(I find it strange that I realized this after reading your question). What actually is happening is that the tiny magnetic dipoles inside the magnetic material(a bar of iron, for example) align with the direction of the magnetic field.
Answers. Best Answer: Main difference is that magnetic poles do not exist without both north and south poles together, whereas electric charges, such as plus and minus, can exist alone. So you can never find a magnetic monopole, i.e. magnetic north or magnetic south by itself. You always find a magnetic dipole. But you can find an electron or a negatively charged object, as well as a proton or a positively charged object.
